The grisly discovery occurred at around 3.20pm in the El Pontil area of Torrox.

Initially, it appeared the tragedy was caused by a gas explosion.

However, investigations suggest the deaths may have been caused by inhalation during the night, according to 101tv.

Sources close to the investigation told the media outlet that the victims were from a North African family: the father and mother, both around 50 years old; and their children, aged 17 and 19.
